Hi everyone!
Thought it would be suitable to post this thread today. I assume there's a number of others like it, but my Danish is still very modest, so...
Being a driving factor in my family's decision to move to Denmark, and also being a father to a girl, equal rights were a big factor in why we chose Denmark as a place we'd like to move to. Having seen what being pregnant meant for my wife (having to stick to a horrible job just cause she was guaranteed she wouldn't be laid off for taking her maternity leave), it's a matter I feel for on a very personal level.
So in hopes of learning more about Denmark before we manage to move, I'd like to know how equal rights and opportunities function in real world in Denmark? I know Denmark's been in the company of countries that have full women's rights for a long time now (currently only 14 countries I believe), but I think it's this very sub I've stumbled upon a post a few months ago about a girl who finished a (traditionally male) trade school and then got ridiculed by her colleagues when she started working.
I don't doubt Denmark is on a whole other level compared to Croatia where we are from, but I wonder how the traditional views have really changed over the years and how equal women in Denmark really feel on day to day basis?
Thanks and enjoy your day!

ku0b3gfIf we had equal rights/upbringing/society there would be equality of outcome (roughly). There is a difference in having equal rights and having equal opportunities. Just because women have the right to be sterilised doesn't mean that they have that opportunity in practice. Many doctors won't perform this type of surgery because "what if the woman finds a man who wants kids". And I don't think I need to explain how that is sexist.

ku1aukqThere isnt equal of outcome between men not even twins, why do u Think there would be equal outcome between sexes when we all are so different, thats just stupid.
It is still possible for a woman to get sterilized, the process is a little longer, but they do have the right.
So come on, give me a right a man have which a women does not here in Denmark.

ku1mjslMany women can't be sterilised because her future man apparently gets a say.
And of course there is a difference between 2 people, but if you look at the grand picture equal opportunity would bring equality of outcomes because your gender doesn't affect your ability, since they are social constructs.
The idea that equal opportunity wouldn't bring equal outcome, is sexist and right wing propaganda, designed to divide and conquer. It's us Vs them mentality.

ku1njbuNot true, every woman over 18, who lives in Denmark, has the right to be sterilized.
Equal of opportunity will NEVER EVER bring equal outcome, because the sexes are so different. Women has the same opportunity to be brick layers, oil rig workers etc yet less than 1% decide to do so, our bodies are build different so no matter what you do, u won’t get a 50/50 in every field.
And equal outcome is NOT the same as equal rights, so tell me again what rights does a man have which a woman does not!

ku1nylkYou really don't listen. yes they have the right. But in practice doctors refuse to uphold that right. Get it through your thick skull. We also have a right to be safe from rape and violence but women and men are still victims of that.
"Actually they have the right"☝️🤓

ku1oet0Prove it? Tho yet again not a right/opportunity but an outcome. Because they do indeed have the right.
Sadly yes, but yet again you come with outcomes. which Im not asking for, Im asking for rights.
I am Well aware that we do not have equal outcome, which wont ever happend and would be stupid to seek, because the only Way to achive equal outcome is by Force and not freedom, u wont get 50/50 nurses without Force, nor doctors, laywers, mechanics etc etc…
